Ryota Suzuki (Shugen)
“It has already been two years since I was announced as the voice of Shugen at Jump Festa. Once again, I am Yusuke Kobayashi. Shugen is earnest and clumsy, to the point that his devotion to comrades and his adherence to bushido sometimes lead him to enforce justice excessively. Every day I continue to face him as a character. Now, together with new comrades, it is time to head into Shinsenkyo. I look forward to your support.”

“Within the harsh world of this series, Jikka occupies a unique position. Although he appears carefree, for me as a performer, it is quite a challenge to maintain my own rhythm while playing him (laughs). That said, I will give it my all! Please look forward to it.”

Maaya Uchida (Kiyomaru)
“I am Maaya Uchida, and I will be voicing Kiyomaru starting from Season 2! When I received the news that I had been cast in Hell’s Paradise, I was truly delighted to be part of this work. Kiyomaru has both a cool side and a childlike side, a charm that makes him mysteriously captivating. I am eagerly awaiting the chance to bring this appeal to life in the world of Hell’s Paradise.”

Sayaka Ohara (Isuzu)
“Isuzu is a towering figure over two meters tall who wields her massive blade with overwhelming power, a true warrior in every sense. Yet in her everyday demeanor, she is an innocent, straightforward, and polite girl, which is a striking contrast to her presence in battle. I find myself touched by this gap in her character, and when I step up to the mic, I always keep her kindness in mind. I am excited for the day everyone will finally see her on screen.”

Chiaki Kobayashi (Gabimaru)
“I am Chiaki Kobayashi, continuing to voice Gabimaru in Season 2. This season introduces many new characters and brings together figures who had not crossed paths before. In addition, while in Season 1 we recorded separately, this time we were able to record together, making for an inspiring experience that felt connected to the world of the series itself. The passion from the director and staff is truly incredible, and the result is a first-rate work. Please look forward to the broadcast!”

“As Sagiri continues to confront her own convictions while sharpening her blade little by little, I will strive as a voice actor to express her beauty and strength. I would be delighted if you could enjoy the anime alongside the original manga.”

“Thank you for waiting! That hellish paradise is back again! Those inseparable brothers are back again! This season looks to be an even harder story than the first. Please look forward to it!”

Rie Takahashi (Yuzuriha)
“Hell’s Paradise Season 2 is finally here! Even as the one voicing her, I find myself constantly caught off guard by Yuzuriha’s lines and her way of showing herself. From here on, the story delves deeper into the mysteries of Shinsenkyo, so please hold on tight and do not get shaken off! Like Senta, I will be gasping for breath as I fight to survive alongside Yuzuriha!!”
